Grosvenor. Thick ring in center is ring girder to hold out-rigger brackets that will support observation platform. Lattice-like sections in foreground are sections of restaurant turntable which will make one revolution an hour. On ground (bottom of picture, right) are monorail beams on which trains will ride."
